tag(s): #meta
A while ago I mentioned that I was meaning to move the CSS on the site to a single stylesheet. All the pages had the exact same style anyway, so it's not like it made a difference to have it inlined or use a common file.
That wasn't the case initially, when for example pages without img tags didn't
have styling for them.
But at some point I felt like saving those few bytes wasn't worth it the hassle. Probably when
I did the first site-wide style adjustment, and had to account for the text differences
when dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace. :)
One more change, is that I reduced the max width of the site. A couple times when proof
reading I had a feeling text was...well, too wide. The page I used for "inspiration"
of the format (sadly offline now, but visible on
the Wayback
Machine) read too narrow for my tastes. But I guess there was middle ground.
Literally, since that page used 600px, I used 800px, and I set the value to 700px now.
The other change I would like to make is improve the tags on the site.
Maybe even make the tags in each post a link to the tag list. You know, like real websites
do.
But before (or while) doing that, I would love to revisit the tags I use. Having a "random
thoughts" tag, in a place where everything I write can fall in that category, is just
silly. A few ago I was missing a "hardware" tag (and I still haven't added it
>_>).
BUT to re-categorize the content I would need to read all posts, or at least glance them over,
put them in buckets by topic, and then re-tag everything? Sounds like too much work.
(Well, this week I randomly remembered that was thinking of changing the site's name too, but all options I came up with were as weak as last time)
